2.4GHz ULP PAN Radio
2.4GHz Multistandard (BTLE /Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.6) Ultra-lower Power Radio
| Macro Name | 2.4GHz ULP PAN Radio |
| Type | Hard IP |
| Short Description(max 128 characters) | 2.4GHz Multistandard (Bluetooth Low Energy/Zigbee/IEEE802.15.6) Ultra-lower Power (1.9nJ/bit) Radio |
| Extra description (optional) | Imec offers a white-box IP license with support on a multistandard ultra-low power (ULP) 2.36/2.4GHz radio transceiver. The radio complies with three short-range standards: Bluetooth Low Energy (BT-LE), IEEE802.15.4 (ZigBee) and IEEE802.15.6 (Medical Body Area Networks, MBAN). A proprietary 2Mbps mode is also implemented to support data-streaming applications. A detaield evaluation of all modes is available, including CBT reports for the BT-LE mode. |
